Yes, 996 tip could fit. But it is not for me. 4 spoke nicer on the eye for me.

Nope, I too prefer the 4 spoke look for a 993. I think the 3 spoke is the nicer looking wheel if you're just comparing the two wheels but the 4 spoke looks more age appropriate with the rest of the interior in the 993. I'm lucky enough to also have the leather airbag with my 4 spoke which IMO helps as well.

Oh no, not a 3 vs 4 spoke steering wheel thread! So which brand and weight oil do you guys use, and why? 
BTW, I wear white socks when driving the p-car. Neutral in color, yet sports minded.

Looks great, Nine9six!
I have to admit for a while I was very much in your camp (have the supple/draped gray interior) and was thinking of giving it some contrast. In fact I even went as far as buying a set of hardback 996 seats (with Porsche crest) as well as black (leather) 993 rear bench + seat pad. Never got to install them, and they have been sitting idle at home. At this stage thinking of selling them (preferably as a set to a 993 comrade) - what do they generally fetch? Sorry for the partial thread-jack but figured I'll solicit your guys' opinion especially as some folks herein have gone this same exact route. TIA

996 sports in nice condition seem to sell quickly at $1500'ish, & tend to languish a bit @ $2000. I dont understand this as they are every bit as nice as 993 sports that fetch $5k +
Back seats (bottoms and seat backs) @ about $500 and up for leather. I've even seen vinyl sets north of the $500 mark, but none that I would pay that price.
@AZ,
I've been in contempt before...Dang BH liberals! Eff em
